Program Note
Wu Fan, a director from Taiwan, becomes fascinated by the free spirit of XiXi, a dancer and performance artist she meets by chance while studying in Berlin. XiXi, originally from Shanghai, marries a French husband and moves to France, where she gives birth to a daughter. However, believing that freedom is the most important value in life, XiXi leaves her home to wander across Europe for her artistic pursuits. Her husband, unable to understand this way of life, declares divorce and attempts to keep her away from their daughter. Now, her lifestyle faces a major challenge. Director Wu captures the results of a free lifestyle and the impact of such a life closely, based on her intimate relationship with XiXi, exploring the value of freedom, self-identity, femininity, and the effects of intergenerational wounds and trauma. It is a remarkable and intense film that leads the audience towards introspection. (JO Ji-hoon)
